Well, that was fixed in 2.8 and should still be fixed in 3.0.  If not,
I would like to hear about it...

This is tricky to do from DOS.  WMI is out.  But scanning for PCI
devices and/or SMBIOS data is possible in principle.  It basically
amounts to porting the Linux "lspci" and/or "dmidecode" utilities to
the DJGPP environment.  That would be a neat contribution if anybody
feels like some serious hacking.

As an alternative, I have read that Bart's boot disk does automatic
network card detection.  However that works, it could presumably be
generalized beyond network hardware to let Unattended include all the
right drivers automatically.
